Ingredients

4 to 6 chicken leg quarters

salt and pepper

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple, undrained

1 cup barbecue sauce, spicy or mild, your favorite

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons cold water

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1 teaspoon minced crystallized or candied ginger, optional

Arrange the browned chicken in an 11x7-inch baking dish (or larger). Combine remaining pineapple and barbecue sauce in a small bowl. Combine flour and water in a cup and stir to form a smooth paste. Stir into the barbecue sauce mixture along with the ground ginger and candied ginger, if using. Pour the sauce over the chicken pieces. Bake in a preheated 325° oven for about 1 1/2 hours, or until chicken is tender and juices run clear. Baste with sauce occasionally while the chicken is baking.
